As you may be aware the Nelson County Extension office is participating in a state wide variety trial this year and things are going well. The 4-H teen Council and I planted the twenty varieties in early May on the Extension office property. The planting was to undergo no miraculous efforts to maintain, just simple everyday maintenance. This include up front fertilization, weed management, and mulching. 
The Kentucky Home Extension Master Gardeners have evaluated the plantings once a month since the install and will continue to do so until frost. Later we will publish the findings as to which plants performed best overall. If you are close stop by and see the planting, it continues to receive compliments from the public for adding a very nice splash of color to the neighborhood.
